And that is actually where you're so totally wrong mate.

You do NOT ever close the second eye. They're called reflector gunsights (also called reflex sight) and even simple rifles use them. For example the German HK G36

Compared to standard telescopic sights, a reflector sight with no magnification can be held at any distance from the eye (don’t require a designed eye relief), and at almost any angle, without distorting the image of the target or reticle. They are often used with both eyes open (the brain will tend to automatically superimpose the illuminated reticle image coming from the dominant eye onto the other eye's unobstructed view), giving the shooter normal depth perception and full field of view. Since Reflector sights are not dependent on eye relief, they can theoretically be placed in any mechanically-convenient mounting position on a weapon.

Basically what you do is you look through it with both eyes open but the right eye (or the left eye for that matter) looks directly through the sight. The aiming spot will "magically" appear in front of you. It's an ingenious trickery of our eyes and works perfectly.

The screenshot posted in this thread is accurate and this is how it should be implemented in the game.
